Overview
The SGI 6700 delivers industry leading performance for streaming data applications. Customers requiring the reliable delivery of real-time data streams will find the SGI InfiniteStorage 6700 ideally suited to their needs. With the ability to stream data up to 3GB per second and specialized isochronous design, the SGI InfiniteStorage 6700 ensures the reliable delivery of real-time data where general purpose RAID systems fall short.

Fast, efficient storage for digital video content
The conversion from video-centric infrastructure to digital workflows has presented the opportunity for greater productivity. With performance previously matched only by aggregating multiple storage systems, SGI InfiniteStorage 6700 offers a new level of efficiency for the storage, management and delivery of digital content for post-production and broadcast facilities.

Allows high-speed loading of large data sets into supercomputer system memory
Scientists and product developers are increasingly utilizing multiple Terabyte system memories found in today's supercomputers. By loading very large data sets into system memory, analysis can be significantly accelerated compared to accessing external storage. The SGI InfiniteStorage 6700 is an ideal storage platform for the High Performance Computing environment because of its ability to stream data into system memory at an extremely high rate.

Ensures consistent and reliable writing of mission-critical data
Gathering data from high-resolution satellite feeds requires data to be ingested in real-time with no room for error. Any hesitation during the ingest process will result in critical data loss. The SGI InfiniteStorage 6700 is robustly designed to ensure bandwidth and throughput even in degraded system conditions.
